What a pity. They were really good and straightforward to book with.

we are booked out in July with them.......here is the latest update from the travel republic website.  Onur have confirmed that they are still flying....so it remains to be seen if the new flight provider will pick up post April flights...

We regret to advise that Custom Flights ceased trading earlier today.

 

When you made your booking with Custom Flights you paid a small charge (either £1.00 or £2.50 per passenger) for ATOL protection which means you are entitled to claim a refund through the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).  

The CAA provide instructions as to how to make a claim on their website.

Link to CAA Make a Claim web page.

You will now need to make a new flight reservation with a different flight provider.

We strongly recommend you book this through Travel Republic without delay as capacity with other flight providers is limited.

TEMPORARY ADDITIONAL NOTICE
 
WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT CUSTOMERS WITH A CUSTOM FLIGHTS BOOKING DEPARTING AFTER 1 MAY 2010 SHOULD AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION AND TAKE NO ACTION AT PRESENT.
 
WE UNDERSTAND IN MOST CASES YOUR FLIGHT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER FLIGHT PROVIDER.
 
WE ARE CURRENTLY AWAITING FURTHER DETAILS AND WILL THEN BE DIRECTLY CONTACTING ALL CUSTOMERS AS SOON AS WE HAVE CONFIRMATION.

fingers crossed......:(

Not offering flights to Turkey but they do charter some flights out - BMI announces big cuts in flights today and possible job losses. We flew with them after booking with A1 Travel in June. Good flights and good crew/plane etc.

If many more go Stoop we'll all end up walking to Turkey.
How about if we buy a CBF Charabanc between us all?We could
have sing-songs an that.!!  :) :)
